The aim of the programme is to develop a high level of intellectual awareness and technical competence in Business and Law. Students will develop their abilities to communicate and work more effectively with legal counsel to solve complex problems and to leverage such “legal astuteness” as a dynamic capability and as a source of competitive advantage. This combined programme in Business and Law was established further to industry recommendation and advice that graduates with such a combination of skills i.e. business acumen and legal knowledge would be invaluable in the contemporary graduate labour market.

The combination of Business and Law offers students the opportunity to develop a skill set that is likely to be of considerable utility and, furthermore, to be highly marketable in a wide variety of workplaces. Students completing this course will be strongly positioned to compete for graduate positions in, management, insurance, banking, human resources, finance, and regulatory roles. Students will also be well positioned to progress to further studies in the disciplines of business, law, accounting and management. Graduates of this Programme will be prepared to complete examinations for entry to the Law Society of Ireland and (subject to recognition) the King’s Inns.
